GOP redistricting means Democrats need nearly 2 more points to win the House
Republican-led redistricting has increased the Democratic margin needed to win the House from 3.1 to 4.9 points, requiring Democrats to flip three seats. The Supreme Court's Louisiana v. Callais ruling enabled states like Alabama, Louisiana, and Tennessee to redraw districts targeting Black voters, while preemptive redistricting occurred in Florida.
